The idea is to have a gzip-like command line tool and - a zlib-like library, which would make it easy to adapt the new - compression technology to existing applications. - -This release - - This is a stable release from the legacy branch of LZMA Utils. This - contains a limited gzip-like command line tool, decoding-only library - with zlib-like API, and some helper scripts for grepping and diffing. - - The legacy branch gets only bug fixes. It is maintained until the new - code base becomes stable. - -Future - - The current LZMA_Alone file format will be replaced with a new .lzma - format. The new format fixes various problems the LZMA_Alone format - such as lack of magic bytes and integrity check. The new tools will - transparently support the files in the old format, but the old tools - will never support the new format files. - - lzmainfo will be gone. "lzma -l" i.e. "lzma --list" will replace it. - It's like "gzip -l" but for .lzma files. The output format will be - different from gzip and lzmainfo. - - liblzmadec will be gone. It will be replaced with liblzma, which - supports also compression and many other things. - - lzmadec will use liblzma instead of liblzmadec. lzmadec will support - giving the filenames to decode on the command line, and support - memory usage limitting. - -Contact - - The preferred way to contact is joining #tukaani on the Freenode - IRC network, and talk to Larhzu. Alternatively, you can email to - <lasse.collin@tukaani.org>. - |
